"The Media Sovereignty Act Does Five Things:
Bans foreign media ownership.
Bans the concentration of UK national media ownership by one person or corporation.
Funds independent and local media with a social media levy.
Requires national media to be under the remit of the statutory regulator.
Requires dark-money funded think-tanks that are covered by the media to declare donations in real time.
When we get to 10,000 signatures, the government has to provide a response.
When we reach 100,000 signatures, the government has to consider the petition for debate in Parliament."

A foreign-owned media empire not only shaping the housing debate, but profiting directly from it?
Murdoch’s News Corp now owns real estate listings, mortgage platforms, property data firms and most of the media megaphone in this country — and they’re using that platform to steer the national housing conversation in ways that just so happen to benefit... themselves.
It’s no longer just bias — it’s vertical integration of propaganda and profit. A single company now helps drive housing policy outcomes by flooding the public sphere with editorials, headlines, and slanted coverage — while quietly monetising the very market conditions it helps create.
Where are the regulators? Where’s the outrage? Why is a foreign-controlled corporation allowed to manipulate both sides of the ledger — public opinion and private finance — while pretending it’s just journalism?
This is not a free press — this is a real estate racket with a printing press.#ausmedia #auspol #housingcrisis #murdoch #newsCorp #mediabias #mediaownership #aushousing

🎥🤡 #YouTube, the paragon of content morality, graciously warns us that self-hosting media (gasp!) is as dangerous as assembling your own IKEA furniture without an Allen wrench. Meanwhile, our hero Jeff Geerling, the Robin Hood of legal media purchases, is publicly scolded for owning a Raspberry Pi and a conscience. 😂🔧

🚀🎥 In an epic battle of tech titans, the article heroically explains that downloading is like owning a DVD while streaming is akin to renting one – groundbreaking stuff! 🙄💾 Thanks to this revelation, humanity can now rest easy knowing the herculean difference between watching and buffering. 📡💤

Just took time out to view/listen to Hannah Ferguson ‘s National Press Club speech (and Q&A… even better) on YouTube, and I got to say: what a powerhouse! Once I got used to her machine-gun delivery, I was captured. A bright, strong, enthusiastic woman. What an excellent role model. I hope she achieves her goals because if she does, she’ll go far.
Do yourself a favour and have watch it:

Wow! I didn't known that McChesney was a rock critic once upon a time. RIP :-(
"Robert W. McChesney, the lion of anti-corporate media scholarship, is dead at the age of 72. He was, for decades, probably the most prominent academic critic of American media from the left, focused on all the ways our idealized vision of a “free press” was actually hampered by the power of big business, the wealthy, and government.
McChesney came from my favorite subgenre of media scholars: those who had a career in working journalism before entering the hallways of academe. He was a sports stringer for UPI and — even more hardcore — an ace ad salesman. In 1979, he was founding publisher of The Rocket, the Seattle alt newspaper that would become the bible of the Pacific Northwest music scene, including being the first to write about Nirvana.1
Ironically, his primary contribution to The Rocket’s editorial ethos seems to have been to convince its staffers to cover mainstream acts (AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rush) alongside all the local indie bands they preferred — all “so that advertisers would believe that 100,000 people actually read our magazine…[we] participated in launching The Rocket not because we cared that much about music, but because we cared that much about publishing.” Not the early career you might expect from the man who’d become the country’s chief critic of corporate media ownership."

Ita #Buttrose finally saying out loud what we’ve known all along, she’s a right-winger.
Source:Independentaustralia.net
“To sum up Ita’s profound musings, everyone should just leave News Corp alone to continue on its merry way distorting the narrative within the media landscape it already dominates, so it can finish the job of destroying the public broadcaster and finally completely dismantle what’s left of our democracy.”And ‘wet blanket’ #PetervanOnselen supports Ita’s view wholeheartedly
'There is no better evidence of the left wing bias that has taken over the ABC's political coverage than the always critical commentary about the Coalition that the political correspondent for the 7.30 television program, Laura Tingle, partakes in.’#HandsOffOurABC for our ABC now in the hands of another right-wing leaning boss it is not going to any easier to ‘inform’ Australians and the screws will once again be tightened to ensure ABC reporting toes the centre-right to far-right plot.
I am starting to believe that a return to an ABC telling truth to power is never going to happen again. Best forget #ourABC and latch on to #IndependentNewsOutlets while ensuring we understand their biaises. That requires us all to put our thinking caps on though… not such bad thing.
#Thisisnotjournalism #ABC #mediaownership #Murdocracy #auspolAs an aside, those who fear Australia’s ‘left wing politics have bugger all ideas about what the ‘left’ truly is (reminds me of bygone ‘yellow peril’ racist scaremongering).

@Rory29 @kentparkstreet1 It's important to be aware of the complex web of interests that shape the information we receive. Did you know that many of the same corporations and wealthy individuals who own major mainstream media outlets also hold significant shares in mining and fossil fuel companies? This overlap can create conflicts of interest, potentially influencing how news on environmental issues is reported. Stay informed and critically evaluate the sources of your news! #MediaOwnership #ConflictOfInterest #StayInformed #EnvironmentalAwareness #Auspol #MSM #VestedInterests #MurdochRoyalCommission

In a small office in northern Paris, journalists are preparing for an extremely rare and somewhat risky event: the launch of the first new print newspaper in France for 10 years.
La Tribune Dimanche goes on sale in a landscape of declining print sales, a furious row over Sunday newspapers, far-right culture wars and the role of billionaire industrialists in media ownership.
